Great tool for work
Love this app for brief language barriers at work, directing patients when they arrive lost in front of me. Its helped me out at work in quick language barrier moments.
Gotta say Im absolutely fascinated also by the ability to point the phone at foreign print, and have it translate into English. Line by line can be a little cumbersome with a paragraph, but great for food menus in Spanish or Chinese. Those are 2 of dozens of language pkgs u can download to ur phone. As many as u want if u have the space. Wonderful app!Show lessMamatude33
Beware. A year up front is taken. Forget the monthly amount shown.
This was a reasonable app. It did the job. It wasn’t foolproof but adequate enough to get the gist. My disappointment stems from a) Not receiving any option of buying into the app after the 7 day trial period, it is just straight away deducted in its entirety from your account. And b) not having the option of having a monthly payment. After all how does one know what glitches are going to present in the app so a year up front just isn’t acceptable.
And what is wrong that Apple just can’t communicate? I had to go to the trouble of downloading the Apple customer service app just to log my complaint and begin the process. I got a refund as I spotted the withdrawal on the day it came out, but one day into using it would have been a different story. Apple are so bloody devious and underhand now.Show lessTrees Pee

This is an upgrade available to the app. You have to confirm and authorise this with the store for a purchase to take place, this is a normal in app purchase with the app store. Apple would present terms and prices and ask for your confirmation. We offer monthly and yearly subscription for your selection. 11. You can always cancel it through your device Settings - iTunes & App Store - Apple ID - View Apple ID - Subscriptions - Manage.

Thank you for the feedback!Just wouldn’t work!
I didn’t purchase any subscriptions or upgrades with this app for starters. It worked pretty well too. I was annoyed that I couldn’t translate that much because after a lot of using the app (like translating a bit) it’s say i had to upgrade to use the app more which I understood cause, you know, I didn’t pay for anything. But what really got to me was that there were times where I would open the app and try to click something and NOTHING would work! Legitimately, it wasn’t even the fact that I “ran out of translates” or whatever. The app just wouldn’t work for me and would be stuck on the home page. I tried tapping every button and nothing would budge. I got really angry with that and just deleted the app. I don’t really know it this is a constant struggle for people who use this app but, it was for me. I’m doneShow lessJ Gathright

Reinstalling the app will help. Please also make sure your iOS version is up to date. If you have any additional questions - please let us know at speak-translate@apalon.comUse Google translate instead
I downloaded this app for a couple days of use. I made an account and made sure everything was free! I stopped using the app because it barely works and never listened to what I was trying to understand. That’s not the worst part though, apparently, a couple days ago while I was eating dinner and never used the app during that day or the day before, the app decided to charge me $50 for a yearly subscription. I didn’t realize until just now when looking at my bank statements. Even now, when I’m trying to cancel my subscription... it just sends me to a site with nothing basically. At the end of the day, if I don’t get my money back and some form of apology, this app is done. HIGHLY DON’T RECOMMEND!Show lessMIA R. DAVIS
Great app but keeps freezing!!
This app would be perfect if it just stopped freezing. I keep trying to reset it and get it functioning again but I have to end up deleted and re-downloading. Super annoying for an app that I’m paying for!HufflePuffWall

We are sorry to hear you are having issues. Please check if your iOS version is up to date and re-install our app from the App Store. This should fix the issues you are experiencing.Will not work
The app works great when it works. I click on the button on the screen and nothing happens. I have restarted my phone and still nothing. This has happened a few times now but this time it has been a few days. I pay for this app so any help to fix the glitch would be great.
Edit: You have reached out and I can not respond to you because the app will not work so I hope this helps. I’m not really sure what started this issue. I go to the app and it opens but I can not click anything on the screen. It would appear that my phone is frozen but I can use any other app and the the touch screen works perfectly but when I go to this app there is nothing. I have restarted my phone multiple times but still I can not click on any button on this app.Show lessgifulrydubljphd

Thank you for the feedback!Speak and translate
I love this app because sometimes my grammar double not all the time but sometime she kind of has trouble understanding words and she knows Hindi which is the main language of India so I just like this app and it really helps I just want you guys to create more apps that I would love to load and it’s been a good app for people to translate voice and it also helps understand if you don’t know the language thank you and if you have more apps just send reminders and how to spell wonderful time and whoever gets my reviews have a wonderful time and hope you enjoy the shop thank you and that’s all I want to sayShow lessSoldier day

Thank you very much for your review!Overall... Decent.
It works pretty well for the most part, but most if the time it freezes and is inoperable for up to 5-7 minutes. The picture translation option is also not very user friendly. Unless I cannot figure out the instructions, I don’t believe this app has the option to translate a picture of text in one language to English after English has been set as the primary language. I don’t think this is something worth paying for at this point. If it doesn’t work every time I need it to, Id rather invest my money somewhere else.Show lesswordhope
